Not if the chain were pulled taut enough.
But if youโre a link in a ring chain, isnโt pulling just tightening it ?
Well, now both seem right. Can we get a physicist consultation? If you pull a rope bridge from both sides, it raises it. But if low enough, that puts you in the waterโฆ?
True, Captain Obvious
This reminds me of a similar factoid.
Did you know that if you took the entire Pacific salmon catch and laid it out nose to tail across the Sahara desertโฆ
โฆthe stench would be overpowering!
Did you know that if you took every elephant on earth and stacked them up to the moon, they would all pretty much die?
If every human held hands around the equator, it would make a very long line.
If 8 billion people hold hands and every person would take up 1.3m, the line would go around the equator 250 times. About 6 billion would drown.
Would they though? Surely the people on land could hold the weight.
Maybe not across the Pacific, Atlantic maybe. Just fashion a human suspension bridge.
